Crude Oil Theft: HURIWA Seeks Death Penalty for Oil Thieves After Nigeria Lost N2.3trn In 3 Months

The economic losses resulting from crude oil theft have forced the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) to suggest death penalty for oil thieves.

The group made the call on Wednesday in response to the revelation by the Senate that Nigeria lost N2.3 trillion to oil theft in the first quarter of 2023.
